The lovely Jessica Ennis at Mulberry
After winning gold at the Olympics, Jessica Ennis has become somewhat of a style star. Already sporting designer clobber from Alexander McQueen and Victoria Beckham, the super-toned athlete has now bagged her first VIP ticket to London Fashion Week. Grazia Daily grabbed a chat with Jess on the front row at Mulberry early this morning…
Is this your first ever fashion show?
Yes, this is my first show so I’m really excited. It’s obviously all new to me but it’s great to be coming to the Mulberry show first, so I’m really looking forward to it.
Why Mulberry for your first show?
I’ve always been a big fan of Mulberry. It’s a great British brand and it’s nice to come and support a brand like this and be part of this whole new world. I’m loving all the gnomes and everything! It’s just a really new experience but really exciting.
If Mulberry were going to make a Jessica Ennis bag, what would it look like?
Oh I don’t know, it would be amazing though! I mean all of the styles of the bags are great, there’s just so much variety, colour… So I’d definitely go for something with a bit of colour but I love the structure. It’d be fun to do though.

We loved that Victoria Beckham dress you wore on the Jonathan Ross show.
I’m wearing another Victoria Beckham dress today too! I love her collection and her collection was great at New York Fashion Week. She’s got some amazing pieces so it’s great to be able to wear some of her dresses.
Have you met her?
I’ve not actually met her yet, no. With the whole Olympics going on and being so busy, I didn’t have the opportunity to. But hopefully in the future, I’ll meet her. I obviously love her designs so that would be great!
